The rumor comes from a source that The Sun claims is close to the family. Their insider said, “We believe audio tapes exist of Angelina that would be absolutely dynamite against her if they were to be made public.”

Jolie’s legal team has recently said they intend to prove that Pitt struck one of their children, despite an official investigation by the LA County Department of Children and Family Services concluding that Pitt did not commit child abuse.

“Nobody wants to play dirty like that,” The Sun’s source said of the tapes. “It’s not good for the children—but Angelina and her team seem absolutely hell-bent on trying to discredit Brad in order to stop him getting joint custody.”

The paper cited an earlier report that members of the couple’s household staff were supporting Pitt and were willing to testify that Pitt had never abused his children.
